Deutsches Zweirad-Museum

Fodor's Review:

Motorbike fans won't want to miss the town of Neckarsulm. It's a busy industrial center, home of the German automobile manufacturer Audi and the Deutsches Zweirad-Museum (German Motorcycle Museum). It's close to the factory where motorbikes were first manufactured in Germany. Among its 300 exhibits are the world's first mass-produced motorcycles (the Hildebrand and Wolfmüller); a number of famous racing machines; and a rare Daimler machine, the first made by that legendary name. The museum also has an exhibit of early bicycles, dating from 1816, as well as early automobiles. All are arranged over five floors in a handsome 400-year-old castle that belonged to the Teutonic Knights until 1806.
